I am so depressed. I haven't gotten out of bed for three days, and I have been wearing the same sweatsuit for a week.
My STBX and I are still living under the same roof, and I think that is a huge part of the problem. It is just so different now, with us living on different floors and barely uttering a word to one another if we should happen to pass in the foyer.
My friends and family say I should get over it and move on, but I am having such a hard time letting go. He was the most important person in my life for 9 years, and now he doesn't love me anymore. I have a birthday in two weeks, and I look at all I have lost over the last year and am sick to my stomach. I fear I will end up a spinster, because I cannot help but compare every man to my husband, and find that they all come up dreadfully short. I am no longer young, I have gained weight, and anyway, what man would want someone who's at a serious risk of developing bedsores?
Because my husband was my business partner, I have no idea where I am going to go from here. I have a job opportunity outside of the country, and I think I am going to take it. I realize that my leaving means the end of all hope, but perhaps I should have given up hope a long time ago. All it's done is made this blow all the harder.
How did all of you find the strength to get up, dust off, and...well, shower?

I know where you're coming from because I've been there.
God bless you....Not only have i been sick with bronchitis but my husband and i have decided to end our marriage too. Today for the first day in 6days i finally got out of bed........took a shower...got in the car and went to wallmart just to get out of the house. I only needed dogfood, and i live out in the country and a store is a far piece away, but it did me good! yes, i cried while driving and felt like a zombi in the store but some little piece of me said i was going to be ok as long as i did not say stuck in my bedroom in my dark hole. I am now going to vow to get out there and get help and this is one way of doing it by posting on here and hopefully make friends online who will give me the strength to get thru this separation and anxiety!
Honestly, get out in this beautiful fall weather.........go to boarders books.......grab a latte and a good book or just write in a diary.........just get out there! The rest will follow! God loves us!
Hi there
I so understand how you feel. I'm in the same position. My H told me nearly 2 weeks ago that he wants to leave me. He still loves me a little bit (not as much anymore though) and wants to be a free man. I'm devastated.
